Team with decent prospects and more importantly, a fair amount of lineup spots available to be won does good in pre-season, the part of the year where veterans don’t try and the only player who do are… the prospects trying to make a name for themselves and the guys trying to earn spots in an NHL lineup. Groundbreaking news.
Next you’ll tell me there is a young player who is going to take over the NHL following his unreal play in preseason, like how Marco Rossi did 2 years ago after getting 9 points in 5 games, or my all time favorite when Ty Rattie was going to take the league by storm on a line with McDavid after 11 points in 4 games.
